      See {Lye}.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Lie \Lie\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. {Lied} (l[imac]d); p. pr. & vb.
      n. {Lying} (l[imac]"[icr]ng).] [OE. lien, li[yogh]en,
      le[yogh]en, leo[yogh]en, AS. le[a2]gan; akin to D. liegen,
      OS. & OHG. liogan, G. l[81]gen, Icel. lj[umac]ga, Sw. ljuga,
      Dan. lyve, Goth. liugan, Russ. lgate.]
      To utter falsehood with an intention to deceive; to say or do
      that which is intended to deceive another, when he a right to
      know the truth, or when morality requires a just
      representation.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Lie \Lie\ (l[imac]), n. [AS. lyge; akin to D. leugen, OHG. lugi,
      G. l[81]ge, lug, Icel. lygi, Dan. & Sw. l[94]gn, Goth. liugn.
      See {Lie} to utter a falsehood.]
      1. A falsehood uttered or acted for the purpose of deception;
            an intentional violation of truth; an untruth spoken with
            the intention to deceive.
  
                     The proper notion of a lie is an endeavoring to
                     deceive another by signifying that to him as true,
                     which we ourselves think not to be so. --S. Clarke.
  
                     It is willful deceit that makes a lie. A man may act
                     a lie, as by pointing his finger in a wrong
                     direction when a traveler inquires of him his road.
                                                                              --Paley.
  
      2. A fiction; a fable; an untruth. --Dryden.
  
      3. Anything which misleads or disappoints.
  
                     Wishing this lie of life was o'er.      --Trench.
  
      {To give the lie to}.
            (a) To charge with falsehood; as, the man gave him the
                  lie.
            (b) To reveal to be false; as, a man's actions may give
                  the lie to his words.
  
      {White lie}, a euphemism for such lies as one finds it
            convenient to tell, and excuses himself for telling.
  
      Syn: Untruth; falsehood; fiction; deception.
  
      Usage: {Lie}, {Untruth}. A man may state what is untrue from
                  ignorance or misconception; hence, to impute an
                  untruth to one is not necessarily the same as charging
                  him with a lie. Every lie is an untruth, but not every
                  untruth is a lie. Cf. {Falsity}.

                     The watchful traveler . . . Lay down again, and
                     closed his weary eyes.                        --Dryden.
  
      2. To be situated; to occupy a certain place; as, Ireland

                     labor, forgets the early rising and hard riding of
                     huntsmen.                                          --Locke.
  
      5. To lodge; to sleep.
  
                     Whiles I was now trifling at home, I saw London, . .
                     . where I lay one night only.            --Evelyn.

      Note: Through ignorance or carelessness speakers and writers
               often confuse the forms of the two distinct verbs lay
               and lie. Lay is a transitive verb, and has for its
               preterit laid; as, he told me to lay it down, and I
               laid it down. Lie is intransitive, and has for its
               preterit lay; as, he told me to lie down, and I lay
               down. Some persons blunder by using laid for the
               preterit of lie; as, he told me to lie down, and I laid
               down. So persons often say incorrectly, the ship laid
               at anchor; they laid by during the storm; the book was
               laying on the shelf, etc. It is only necessary to
               remember, in all such cases, that laid is the preterit
               of lay, and not of lie.
